We describe how idiosyncratic deals (I-deals), in this case I-deals focused on workers' employability enhancement, can serve as a powerful strategic HR tool for simultaneously meeting both the strategic goals of employers and the career goals of employees. Building on a sustainable career perspective, I-deals are interpreted as highly valuable, as they can help individual employees to more easily adapt to the fast-changing environments that nowadays characterize society and the labor market. After theoretical outlines on the concepts of I-deals and employability, we argue that I-deals can form the basis for integrative employment relationships aimed at employability enhancement. This article concludes with concrete recommendations for practice, indicating that in order to enable the sound use of I-deals as a strategic HR tool, organizations should discuss I-deals and employability openly through constructive dialogue. Moreover, examples for achieving this through specific practices, such as working with employability coaches and world cafés on employability, are described.
我们阐述了个性化交易(I-交易),在此案例中即专注于提升员工就业能力的I-交易,如何能够成为一种强大的战略性人力资源工具,以同时实现雇主的战略目标和员工的职业目标。基于可持续职业视角,I-交易被视为极具价值,因为它们能够帮助个体员工更轻松地适应如今社会和劳动力市场所特有的快速变化的环境。在对I-交易和就业能力的概念进行理论概述之后,我们认为I-交易可以构成旨在提升就业能力的综合性雇佣关系的基础。本文最后给出了具体的实践建议,指出为了能够合理地将I-交易用作战略性人力资源工具,组织应通过建设性对话公开讨论I-交易和就业能力。此外,还描述了通过具体实践来实现这一目标的示例,比如与就业能力教练合作以及就就业能力开展世界咖啡馆活动。
